  1. Separate cutting carriage from print-head carriage

    you are correct, just pull them apart.
  2. latex vs. solvent

    Keep your eyes open for deals, many different brands are currently running sales. If you're interested in saving money most of your distributors also have slightly used models available also. (lease returns or demo units) Personally, I still don't really like the HP latex here as far as...
  3. Gerber EnVision 375 cuts inconsistently

    Did you try other rolls of vinyl? I have had rolls of inconsistent thickness cause issues like this.
  4. Pointy Banners

    if you're using regular 13oz, you're going to have to hem them all the way around for added weight/support. I would suggest using an anti-curl or more heavyweight banner material for these.
  5. 3M "Micro Comply" vinyl?

    I can use Google; but I thought that the people who might have seen a real life sneak peek or know what the difference to our businesses was going to be would be here on Signs101.
  6. Question on laminate for decals help me figure out what this stuff is!

    I think it is made by Convex / Pro Shield. this stuff https://www.hyatts.com/sign/convex-pro-shield-laminate-3.3936
  7. Free Stuff For Y'all

    Thanks, I actually had one of these on my "to draw" list. I'll just go off my measurements and adjust to fit his truck.
  8. Cutting software? Omega? Flexi? Corel?

    We use Omega for all of our plotters except for when Onyx controls the print/cut files. I think it works great.
  9. 3M "Micro Comply" vinyl?

    I was informed yesterday that all of the 3M 180C vinyls are getting ready to be switched over from "Comply" to their new "Micro Comply" adhesive.... and that the new vinyl colors might be "slightly different"??? They said there are no more air egress channels and that the adhesive is now...

  11. Looking for edge safe carbon fiber material

    These look like they're solvent printed to me. I would do them as solvent or latex prints personally. Avery sells some specialty films (100 series), but I am not sure if they're available in 15" punched. We have converted some specialty color films here into strips, and then laminated them onto...
  12. Magnets on aluminum vehicles

    You must be doing something wrong or else you have a major humidity problem. We run rolls and rolls of phototex here w/o issues. We had a roll separate from the backing/ripple for the first few feet after being stuck in a corner for a year once, but it was near where there was a leak under a...
  13. SP540V Encoder strip flip

    Top to bottom, you'll probably have to put a tiny hole in it with an exacto to have it fit. Take it out and CLEAN it well and you should be good to go again. Also; the eye that reads the encoder strip isn't that hard to get out and clean either; I've had it be the cause of problems more than...
  14. Magnets on aluminum vehicles

    Phototex. It works well outdoors for things like this. About the same life as magnets.
  15. Arlon + HP = Bad News Coming Soon?

    We run a lot of Arlon DPF8000 here for one customer, that is spec'd by them so we're "stuck" with it. As anyone who has ran this material will attest to - the edges leave some very tacky residue on your printer, floor, hands, tables, etc... So, with the limited "reach" within this printer I am...
  16. Newbie to site, 30 yrs in biz, with plotter issue and printer envy.

    Call Summa support; I think your plotter is just confused and you're speaking the wrong language to it. Ours did that exact same thing recently and a tech walked the other guy here on how to fix it in a couple minutes.
  17. How was this Decal Produced?

    You could make these with a Gerber Edge, however I have no idea how they got the metallic flake in there that way. I would bet our Epson here could make them also if we had chrome vinyl and patience testing it out, as it has the metallic ink option. I would suggest a solvent printer with spot...
  18. Acid wash for trailers?

    I have used Ghost Off (Fellers or Advantage sells it) with good success; put a bit more in the solution than recommended, scrub it well, then wash it off.
  19. snowy log cabin look

    I could do it, but I'm currently way over-booked already... I know one other guy that could do what you need, I'll PM ya.
